I'm sure one of our North American members can help you out with this, Bram.

That's why I posted the size of the screw as well as the links. It is a standard American hardware store item. You don't have to get it from RIC or POTR, that was just for convenience.

Thanks for your help!! I will try to buy the screws this week, if I can't, I will ask for help here :D :D

The bass is home again! Perfectly refinished in Nitro Burgundy, it looks fantastic. Burgundy is hard to catch in a photo, but I think the color is spot-on, perfectly, Burgundy!
I am in heaven.
Currently the Grovers are being repaired so the can't explode, the last parts (potentiometers) will arrive this week, and the luthier will make a custom nut with '74 specifications. The bass will be PLEK-ed too!!

Enjoy!!
